A masterpiece of electronic music. Two long, slow, deep, hypnotic, killer tracks based on complex rhythm structures; the beginning of a wonderful mind journey. Prologue is extremely proud to present WNDFRM aka Tim Westcott, a new face on the label. Tim is a perfect fit for Prologue and he has the talent to deliver perfected mental sounds. Everything is a hypnotic flow, but there is always a constant anchor for your mind to keep you from getting lost -- though you may get lost anyway!

Cassegrain continue their empowering run of techno electronics with Centres of Distraction, their debut album on Prologue. Leading us on a 10-track expedition into a wilderness of rugged, challenging sonics, the album marks the production duo's development from adventurous new-bloods to full-fledged techno explorers. Over the course of the last five years, Alex Tsiridis and Hüseyin Evirgen, now both firmly entrenched in Berlin, have created a heavily detailed rhythmic language of morphing synthesis, high-end processing, and club-chiseled production. A nod to the classic '90s electronic album format -- spanning a wide range of tempos and genres -- Centres pf Distraction covers a lot of ground. After the opening club-ready syncopations of "A Study of Splashes," itself a warm and addictive cut, the duo set out on a new exploration in purist electronica, beginning with "Resilin." Morphing from abstract and reduced broken beats into a stirring melodic piece, it's the most song-structured we've heard them. And so change and contrast are to continue as key themes. "Centres" drops with its funky, off-center lines and rattling percussion, to be quickly followed by the mighty "Intrude - Restrain." "New Hexagon" charms us into a deep hypnosis with its percussive and rhythmic synthesis, highlighting the intricacies of the duo's drum programming. The serene mid-tempo tones of "Glasshouse" create yet another dramatic change in focus as a temporal, high-pressure, and high-intensity atmosphere is built and then gently deconstructed. But Cassegrain also stands for high-end dance music, and "Scythian" is perhaps the peak of the album in that respect. An unrelenting and timeless shock of electricity, the stuttering, frenetic energy winds its way around the heart of Cassegrain's current club sound. Again dropping the tempo in search of refreshing alternatives, renowned Greek cellist Nikos Veliotis (of the Mohammad group on PAN and In Trance 95 on Minimal Wave) contributes his growling, measured strokes to "Empress Cut in Segments." An intense soundtrack of sublime cacophonic peaks, once again tapping into a newly developed taste for melody and progressive structures. The album approaches its end with "Arcane," the type of psycho-techno that Cassegrain do so well -- metallic lines overlapping and modulating to full effect -- the tension palpable. This is the prelude to the beautiful "Seldom Cloud" that sums up all of the more experimental, melodic studies found on the LP. Floating bells and ethereal bodies swarm in a fitting conclusion to the album.

After his fantastic debut on Prologue Portefeuille 3, Mod21 comes back with his first 12" and shows us his massive talent for deep, complex techno journeys. Instinctive, hypnotic rhythms with multi-dimensional techno beats and ambient structures. Let's meet together in the dark space.

Mike Parker's unique album Lustrations (PRG 004LP) is an extremely good base for killer remixes. After the amazing original tracks, well-known and respected remixers such as Svreca, Edit Select, and Cassegrain have designed three complete new "Lustrations," providing a complete dedicated attitude to the rhythmic, full of the stomping and gyrating patterns of Mike's album. Deepest ritual techno for the mind.

Prologue presents three new tracks from the Berlin-based Cassegrain. This new EP draws in the focus as we see the duo further finesse their sonic language of complex tribal percussion and intense acidic elements. When you close your eyes and stare into nothingness, that private virtual space, what does your brain see? Shimmering cells dancing in the void, clouds in your consciousness, the particle elements of a distant past -- blood distributed as pure color. Across three intense tribal studies, exploring fine potions of voodoo acids and hypnotic extrasensory sonics, we are transported to places far and exotic.

Cassegrain's brilliant Tiamat releases are back. After the amazing original tracks from Cassegrain, well-known and respected remixers like Svreca, Mike Parker, TM404 and Inland aka Ed Davenport have designed four Tiamat tracks in order to provide a completely dedicated view of Cassegrain's fantastic EP. The result is simply a bomb.

Edit Select is the project of Scottish DJ Tony Scott -- one of the pioneers of deep-driven, hypnotic techno. Already confirmed with tracks like "Bauer" on Ostgut Ton or tracks on his own label Edit Select Records, Tony belongs to the best and most respected techno producers in the world. Nearly all of his techno tracks have been played and charted by all of the most prominent techno DJs. But that wasn't the reason Prologue signed the album Phlox -- in fact, Edit Select, with all his passion for deep techno, is more than a perfect fit into Prologue's label philosophy. Tony's ability to design hypnotic tracks has long been recognized, and Phlox is an extremely dope mixture of emotional ambient tracks and very effective sci-fi tricks moving to hypnotic monsters for the dancefloor. Also included is a new version of "Bauer," one of the best techno tracks, ever, as well as a collaborative track with label-mate Dino Sabatini.

Prologue continues with #3 in the Portefeuille series. First up is Etapp Kyle, who recently released on Ben Klock's Klockworks with an unbelievable emotional techno track. The second track is a completely new producer face from Italy called Mod21. Mod21 delivers a biological living techno monster. Last up is Artefakt with deep melancholic grooves for the dancefloor.

Echologist aka Brendon Moeller is undoubtedly one of the hardest-working techno artists around the globe and has left a prolific trademark in the electronic music world. His 10th album, Storming Heaven floods us with deep emotions and a unique sound experience. Prologue is always looking for new directions in electronic music and they feel strongly that this album fulfills the label's pursuit in an extremely exciting way. It will be treasured for years to come. This is music to immerse oneself in and explore sonic depths and worlds of synthetic sound that resonate on many levels. Brendon's intention for this album was to push himself beyond the comfort zone in an effort to make an album that, more than any other project he has done, will reveal a distinct and unique voice. While it reflects musical ideas from composers that have inspired him, he has attempted to personalize and interpret and therefore create something idiosyncratic yet nostalgic. "The Frequency of Love," the first track, shows us what humans can do with machines. This is the perfect way to start the journey into this masterpiece. Dive in and enjoy the sound of an artist in full bloom.

Fantastic debut from Mike Parker on Prologue. He comes with two killers on wax, exactly the kind of techno you love so much. On top of that there is a very special and unique Donato Dozzy remix which completes this EP, making it as remarkable and grandiose as they come.
